Every other year Alys does holiday banquets for the orphanage workers. She used to do all the cooking and everything, but then last time we switched to a fancy restaurant. This time was at the restaurant again. Alys was away for the whole holiday season, but before she left she reserved the evenings. Then we hosted them without her.
They were amazing! The nannies really love the fancy atmosphere and a night off just to have fun together. We ate, sang, told about the meaning of Christmas, and on one of the two nights even had amazing professional carollers sing for us.
It's always our hope and prayer that when we can pour out love onto these women and help them to feel special, they'll pass that on to the children they care for.

This is such an amazing ministry, Phyllis! I know it is a great blessing to these ladies and that they feel the love you all are sharing w/ them and the love of the Lord, as well! We are always in prayer for you and your service at this orphanage and many others! We love you! Julie and Bernie
Continually we are thankful for the impact you are having on the lives of often-forgotten children and on those who care for them. This is another beautiful evidence.
We love you.
